Kathleen Meyer Obituary

Kathleen Meyer
11/04/1951 - 02/02/2024
Kathleen Anne (Delany) Meyer departed this world to join our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the Saints in Paradise, on February 2, 2024, following an extended period of illness. Born to Clara Louise (Soland) Delany and William Harry Delany in Houston, Texas on November 4, 1951, Kathleen was the first of two children. As a young girl, Kathleen watched over and played with her younger brother and helped her mother around the house. She was a good student, took piano lessons, sang in the school choir and twirled batons in the high school marching cadet corps. After obtaining an Undergraduate Degree in Education, she completed Graduate Masters and Ph.D. Studies in Child Psychology at the University of Houston. Kathleen, a dedicated parishioner of Saint Joseph Catholic Church, was happily married to her husband of 51 years, Michael Meyer, and was a caring, loving mother to their son, Rex Meyer. Kathleen was preceded in death by her father, Harry Delany. She is survived by her husband, Michael; her mother, Clara Peltier; her son, Rex and his spouse; her grandchildren, Joshua Meyer and Molly Ammerman and their respective spouses; her uncle, Walter Mclendon Soland; and numerous sisters-in-law; brothers-in-law; cousins; nephews and nieces. Kathleen will be remembered as a special woman who filled our lives with love and leaves us with fond memories and respect for the importance of God and family. She asked little for herself, always putting her family and others first. She truly left the world a better place than when she arrived. A memorial service will be held 10:00 a.m., Friday, February 23, 2024, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 307 Hammond Street, Zwolle, La. 71486. In lieu of flowers, Kathleen would want you to do a kind act for another.
